Menu Monday!

It has been a long time since I’ve posted a “Menu Monday”.  Time to resurrect that tradition.

I’ve Lost My Brain

I’ve lost my brain. Do you know where I might be able to find it? Seriously – yesterday was bad to begin with because of my cold, but then I did something kind of embarrassing. I was just getting out of the shower when I heard a knock at the door. I knew it was… Read More I’ve Lost My Brain
